Anybody try this stuff , seems like it would work the way jay was talking about it
But then again he was using it in older generation cars

 

Sure sounds like a good idea. Everyone's got aluminum engines these days. I wish I had all kinds of money like Jay Leno so I could try out all these ideas. $$$.

 

Is the engine in the xf made of aluminium?

 

Yes, the engine is aluminum.

 

Nice find! Seems like a good idea. Even though Aluminum has a slow corrosion rate it still corrodes. How did you stumble upon the video? I was thinking of doing a flush soon. Maybe next maintenance. If I try the product I'lll post about it.

 

I watched the video .......
Seems a good idea, but one statement in it threw me :

Jay says " use it on cars like the Corvair " ????????????
Since when did they change from air cooled ?

 

I'm subscribed to jays YouTube channel and that video was posted, I'm thinking about trying it my vw , but if you try it definitely post about it
Jay does restore cars , maybe his corvair has different cooling system ?

 

It sounds like a new idea.
New idea's regarding engine maintanence scare me.
Our engines are designed to use a pressurized cooling system. What happens when you try running them without pressure?
Is the water pump going to circulate the coolant through the entire engine the same way and at the same rate?
My horrifically expensive engine with an intercooled supercharger isn't about to become the lab rat on this one.

 

I think you still use a pressure cap, you do have to push out as much water/old coolant out of the system. It has a higher boiling point and freeze point. I could have got it wrong, But......?

 

Doing some reading and study, this is about 100% antifreeze and has LOWER specific heat (cooling capacity ). No thanks Woody

 

I honestly do not think it would harm the engine. Now for under pressure, is the coolant pump not belt driven? That would be what circulates the fluid. The representative made a comment that you could open the cap while the engine was hot. I doubt they would engineer a fluid that is harmful to an engine. Most modern day cooling systems that run water/glycol are pressurized any ways are they not? Pressure is just a by product of the water mix in the system, is pressure really necessary, especially if there is a better fluid that does not create it? Good question for Evans. I am sure a quick call to their Corporate/R&D in Sharon, CT might have the answer!

 

They engineered a coolant to sell and make a profit.
They're not going to have answers to your questions as they relate to our specific engines and superchargers.
If someone wants to dump the stuff in their SRT and drive 30K miles in southern Texas and come back with a positive report, then I'll consider it.
